Do you think that within the next 35 years books will make just as high sales as the do now or will they no longer be as popular due to all of the modern media that is around? Yes or no and why or why not?

I don't think they will as high as they are now but they will still be beneficial. I don't think they will as high because as you stated, today and tomorrows technology. They will be beneficial because a book doesn't require electricity to be used. In the failure of a power grid, you can still rely on good old fashioned paperback.

I think paperback books are going to die within the next 35 years but digital e-books will become the future. Sales of paperback books are already plummeting due to e-readers so in 35 years they'll probably be dead.
